Data & Backups
What gets saved, what to expect across restarts, and how to protect your agent's data.
What persists automatically
The following are always retained across restarts, redeployments, and sessions:
- Your account and sign-in state
- All agents and their status history
- Secrets you've added to each agent
- Settings and configuration for each agent
Agent runtime data
Your agent's working directory and any files it creates persist on its dedicated volume. A restart does not wipe your agent's workspace — it picks up where it left off.
A full redeploy provisions a fresh container. If you need to preserve workspace data across a redeploy, take a snapshot first.
Snapshots
A snapshot captures the current state of your agent before you make a risky change. Use it before:
- Manually editing files inside the container
- Major runtime configuration changes
- Anything you'd want to be able to roll back from
Create a snapshot from the Snapshots page in the dashboard sidebar.
Backups
Backups provide a broader recovery path for agent data. They're designed for situations where something goes wrong and you need to restore a previous state.
Access backups from the Backups page in the sidebar.
Removing an agent
Deleting an agent from the dashboard is permanent. The container, its workspace volume, and all associated data are removed. Your secrets entries are also deleted.
If you think you might want to come back to an agent, take a backup or snapshot before deleting it.
